This movie had a lot of hype surrounding it and to be honest I myself was excited to see it as well. I liked the other movies peter berg had directed, Lone survivor and Deepwater Horizon, but this movie fell flat. With Deepwater Horizon there was a wall of tension being built up throughout and when things go down it's amazing, this movie tries to go for the same but it isn't done as well nor does the subject matter git thst same style. The character building in this movie was lacking and the story for this movie was just stale. I'd say this isn't worth the asking price of $30, catch it on sale for $15 or less.

A Decent Movie About A Terrible Day.

When I first heard of this movie i wondered how they were going to get a decent movie out of a tragic couple of hours the couple of days that followed. It is good and I think dives a little deeper in what actually went down leading up to and in the days that followed the Boston Marathon attack. I would give it three and a half stars if it was an option. Some ok secondary roles in acting and a little overkill in the Hollywood storytelling ket it from getting 4 stars.

A lot of Mark Wahlberg lately.

The story of the Boston Marathon bombing is still very close to us. So, this story even now brings sad memories now. Mark Wahlberg is really a likeable actor, but recently he has been in a lot of action movies so it feels a little like he is saturating the movie screen with the similar hero-type characters. However, still more tolerable than Jason Statham who pretends to act in the Mechanic Resurrection.

I'm probably too critical

As a retired Paramedic with many ties in the EMS/Fire/LEO communities, I may be too critical of this film on a technical level. Having said that, and knowing a number of those who responded that day, it was a different point of view. As always, I liked Mark W. in his role, as well as some of the other actors. Script was "ok"....

Must have DVD.

Patriot Day with Mark Wahlberg is a great movie. A gave insight and perspective to what happened with that Boston March a few years back. I know Hollywood may have added some libertys to it but it still was close enough to the real thing and I thought it was a great movie.

A tribute more to the heroes and less to the survivors of the Boston marathon tragedy. Just like 9/11, I do not believe that movies should be made of these sad American tragedies. As a movie though, it was well done and I would say well-intentioned too.

Good Movie, but...

Good movie that reminded me of that period in time that Boston stood strong. Felt like more could have been shown of how the govt over took that city. The language is awful. I guess people in Boston only use F words.
